The John Crow Farm bankruptcy proceedings, which have left hundreds of members of the community supported agriculture (CAS) effort owed about $165,000 for undelivered food, started in Worcester on Monday. Trustee Anne White is examining financial records of Robert Varisco, co-owner of John Crow Farm, but that she has not found money or assets consumers could tap.

John Crow Farm operated on leased land on Old Ayer Road in Groton; Varisco’s court papers list him as a Fitchburg resident. After several years of operation, it abruptly stopped delivering meat and vegetables this March.

A large, vocal, group of people who have been touched by the bankruptcy are organizing around, and communicating through, a Facebook group, What happened to John Crow Farm?
